Hi ladies

So it's been almost a year since my op. But my left breast never did 'drop and fluff'. The right one feels great and moves in my hands. But the left (which has the bigger implant) is still quite hard at times. There is extra fullness at the top and I can feel the implant underneath my crease.

I'm now booked in for a revision of my left breast and liposuction of abs and flanks. The first Lipo didn't seem to work at all.

Next date is booked for 18th Dec.
Wish me luck!

Hi Georgia thanks for keeping us updated, how do you feel about your up coming surgery? Are you annoyed that you have to have it corrected or just relieved that it's going to be done? Sorry to ask so many questions but it's so helpful to know and understand fully everything that could potentially be involved, is there a reason that that breast didn't drop and fluff as well as the other breast? I really hope that this upcoming surgery is a success and it gives you the results that you hope to achieve All the best if you can please keep us posted Good luck

Thanks so much for all of your positive words.

The left breast swelled up one day (probably within a week of the op). It's never been as soft as the right once the swelling went.

I'm relieved to be having it done. Mr Cavale was great about it. I saw him every three months to see how I was healing, but in the end he just said he's do something else to try and get the left one to drop. He thinks it's because the left implant is bigger in a smaller breast - you'll see from my post above that my breasts were originally very different sizes. So the bigger implant in the smaller boob, my boob just wasn't having it! The implants are under the muscle too.

I just can't wait to get this done so that I can start wearing normal bras. I've worn my post surgery bras since last November. Ready for some pretty ones now :) Even if realistically that's not until next year...

Oh wow really, I'm in the same situation as I have one breast that's larger than the other, it was suggested at my free consultation that the different sizes in my breast could be corrected with different sized implants as I didn't want to have an uplift I didn't really need, the nurse also suggested that I would have the implant partially sub muscular for a more natural look, I guess my consultation with Mr Cavale will be more informative as I have LOTS of questions, I'm a little more anxious but it's good to know all potential possibilities

Uneven breasts continue

Hi ladies

Not much has changed since my last update. I've seen my PS twice since the beginning of the year. My left breast is dropping very slowly but it's still higher and harder than the other.

My stomach is still huge. I know I wasn't going to get six pack abs. But my results don't look anywhere near as good as those I've seen on people who had the high def. I had traditional lipo.

I now have to wait until my six month check up before my PS will decide what to do with my breast.

Uneven breasts

Hello ladies

I've had an interesting few weeks since my last update. I wrote that one of my breasts had swollen up, well that breast is still swollen. The other one has 'dropped and fluffed' it looks and feels great. I just hope that the other will do the same. Right now one nipple is two inches higher than the other. I don't have a session with my PS until the middle of Jan because of the christmas break. I can't wait to talk to him and get some answers as to what is going on.

I don't have any pain at all except for 'morning boob'. But I still take Paracetamol (Tylenol) and Ibuprofen I hope that it will help with the swelling in my breasts. I was taking Arnica for the first few weeks after my surgery. I've started taking it again today to hopefully help with the swelling in my breast too. I was given a breast band but I hadn't worn it because it was too painful at first. Well last night I got it on and I slept in it. I really don't like the way that they look at the moment. The swollen breast is also swollen at the side so each time I move my arm I brush past my boob. I'm trying to reassure myself that I haven't made a huge mistake.

On a more positive note, My liposuction has healed well. I'm still a little sore around my middle at the back. I can't see any difference in my shape comparing the before and after of the survey. I know it takes time (months) so I am trying to be patient. I can't wait to start to see some results...
